The Graduate show, on Friday evening, was great! I spoke to many people, including the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth, he was a lovely man very interested in what we do in the Graphic Design Basement Studios, also spoke to many visitors, had long conversations about Adrian Frutiger and my work / others work. Really enjoyed the evening and was honoured to exhibit with my peers and friends.

The day before, I purchased a screen printing set, from the art store….and this gave me ideas to start making prints… GOOD prints… for personal projects, while applying for a career in Graphic Design. The aim of the game, (I’ve had this inclination for a while, but never got round to starting) is to sell these prints on. Perhaps at events such as Comic Con, Waterways / Craft festivals and see how and where it gets me.

I think I might start small and get into the Free Art Friday community, perhaps even document my adventures / progress on my new found Instagram account, Twitter and on this blog as well.

I’ve had an idea as a starting point. The nursary rhyme, ‘One for Sorrow’ about the superstitions around Magpies. It’s got so many versions and I want to do them all!!! Perhaps even to start off with, to practice hand lettering, screen printing and on screen. The reason is, since I heard the rhyme and Band of Skulls: Patterns, the rhyme has had a bit of an impact on me. I’m not majorly superstitious, other than Fate, Destiny and everything happens for a reason, ghosts / kindred spirits kind of thing. (Still… not majorly, but enough to be open minded).

The University of Portsmouth CCI Graduate show will preview from 5 – 9pm tonight, where all the creative students are showcasing their work in prospects to gain employment… (or just to enhance our egos to show how proud we are of what we’ve achieved in the past 3 years or so).

Preparations for the Graduate Show are underway. This past week I have printed lookbooks, business card backs, screen printed some covers for the books and helped to paint the studio… yes I did get very messy with white paint!

Still have a few things to do, such as actually stick my business card objects together, in a triplex format. Also to print my display posters and help to hang them up for Tuesday.

I’m really looking forward to the show on Friday, should be really good and hopefully get in some networking.
